I hope all is well with you and your spirits are high. I left here on August 24th and returned September 28th. I didn’t do as well as I had hoped but my presence was felt which is a step in the right direction. On a whole the experience was one of degradation and a lesson in humility to put it nicely – but pure torture to put it correctly – thank the higher powers I have 23 plus years of experience in dealing with the treatment I was subjected to or I may have folded. A few good things kept me going and my spirits up. But Hell, let me tell you about the torture first . I was kept in an isolation cell with the lights on 24 hours a day – to add to the sleep deprivation the cell was kept cold until I went to sleep then it seems the vent above my bunk would blow out hot air and I’d wake up sweating – and I’d be soaking wet – or they would come find a reason to wake me up – so I didn’t get as much sleep as usual. Then I’d be shackled with leg irons and handcuffed whenever they took me out of the cell – I was forced to walk the distance of at least ½ mile (I’m serious about the distance) with the heavy leg irons digging into my ankles. I done that four times, going and coming from the Court building – every day I went through a similar routine but not as far, far enough I’d be in pain though. To use the telephone I’d have to walk about a block like that and then be locked in a small room that was like being in an icebox. If I was able to get someone on the phone my time would get cut short and if I wasn’t able to get anyone I’d have to sit there and wait for them to return me to my cell….. and that I didn’t have a regular bowel movement all the time I was there too. Oh, I did get to read about 10 books though thanks to one of the runners (Trustees) – and one of the books I read was Steppenwolf by Hesse and I enjoyed it as I took it as a good sign J I’m still looking forward to reading Siddhartha – hint hint . Alright, here in the kicker I got to speak with Barbara (Butch’s mum) and that Bro. may have helped me put the topping on the cake. She is having health and financial problems but she came across lucid and receptive. While speaking with her I came up with the idea of getting her on video tape to speak out against the misconduct of the State in concealing evidence that may have, and did, allow the killers of her son to go scott free….. Can you imagine having that on my website – the impact would be astronomical. So that is my new pet project. So you see Bro. even though I was being subjected to torture, my mind and spirit soared free. My body suffered the brunt of it all but I’m strong.

I wrote you while at the jail but they didn’t have 80c postage envelopes, only first class USA and I wasn’t allowed to bring any stamps with me. I tried calling you too but they don’t allow overseas calls either. I can only imagine what a collect call would have cost. Man – here it is October already – Christmas is right around the corner and another year of this bullshit. I’ve had enough Bro., so I really hope things work out with Barbara. Oh, I got to see my website on a computer while at the jail’s law library. One of the guards showed it to me on his computer. I seen the rest of the journal hadn’t been posted but that will have been a month ago by the time the reaches you. I’ve been sleeping pretty good since I’ve been back. I’m on a quieter floor which is making a difference, plus I didn’t get much sleep at the jail. I’ve had regular bowel movements too. The food down there was worse than the food here which was a real disappointment. About the only other good thing down there besides being able to use the telephone was that I had a shower in my cell – I really didn’t et to enjoy it though because I had to push the button to keep the water on and it wasn’t that easy to wash your back that way. It as soft water too which was a treat. It’s good to watch some TV now too – plus I couldn’t wait to light up a cigarette since there was no smoking at the jail which brings up a sore subject for me. I need some financial help – at least until I get back on my feet. Do you think you could put me on an allowance of $25 a month for the next four to six months. I’m enclosing a couple deposit slips with the allowance. I won’t need stamps since I’ve been trading most of them anyway. Kindred Spirit is sending me $30 every three months but that isn’t enough to cover my copy fees for my legal work. I’m hopeful I’ll find someone or bodies to help within the next six months.The site looks great – Wado!!!

We never know what to expect in life do we? I’m beginning to notice how fragile my own health is getting with age. It doesn’t help that each day is a struggle in not getting killed either. The mail has been screwed up since going to the jail. I suspect it will take about a month to get back to normal not that I was receiving much mail as it was but I have a feeling that is going to change. I just filled out a request slip to go to the law library, I need to get those copies for Barbara and do some research on Prosecutional (Malicious Prosecution) so I can raise that argument in the next motion I file.

Alright Bro. I’m going to try and get some more sleep plus I have a couple more letters to write. I hope to hear from you soon, take care and give my regards to everyone.

Love to you.
